Contour-X Helmet - Black Frost - Medium
The ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet in Black Frost offers advanced aerodynamic features and cutting-edge design tailored for touring riders seeking comfort and performance. The helmet*s 3D Arai logo duct measures just 3.5 mm in depth, efficiently feeding two central 10 mm intake ports to improve airflow at low speeds and in an upright riding position. The logo duct can be easily opened or closed with summer or winter gloves via a short-stroke lever placed at the top, ensuring quick adjustments without compromising safety. When the lever is in its normal position, the duct remains open, providing optimal ventilation for various riding conditions. Designed with impact safety in mind, the logo duct is engineered to break away upon impact, minimizing risk during accidents. The aerodynamic rear spoiler, inspired by the DF-X2 of the Corsair-X but redesigned for touring, features a one-piece exhaust/spoiler system operated by a 3-way switch. It is positioned slightly forward on the shell and is fed by three ports, effectively drawing air and smoothing airflow over the helmet*s sides. This design enhances stability and reduces buffeting at highway speeds, significantly decreasing rider fatigue on long rides. Constructed with lightweight, thin materials, the rear spoiler also breaks away upon impact, ensuring safety without sacrificing aerodynamic benefits. The helmet features a three-position sliding air-scoop chin vent that provides high-volume airflow and includes a replaceable filter. The vent*s thicker actuation mechanism is easy to operate with gloves, offering customizable ventilation suited for different weather conditions. For communication system integration, the helmet*s shell exterior is designed to allow easy connection without compromising the EPS liner's protective integrity. The outer shell uses Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate Construction (PB-cLc2), combining lightweight strength with integrated side ducts for optimal airflow. An extra layer of super fiber belting enhances shell rigidity in critical areas while maintaining flat sides for straightforward intercom system installation. The Variable Axis System (VAS) lowers the visor mounting position by approximately 24 mm across the temple areas, promoting a smoother shape that helps glance off energy more effectively. The shell*s design includes a 5 mm flare around the opening, facilitating easier helmet donning and removal, especially for newcomers. A discreet stitched opening inside the neck roll enables easy tuck-away of excess wiring for integrated communication systems, ensuring a clean aesthetic and reliable setup. Overall, the ARAI HELMETS Contour-X Helmet combines aerodynamic efficiency, safety, and rider comfort, making it an ideal choice for touring enthusiasts who prioritize performance and style in a lightweight, well-ventilated helmet.
